GH3 rumors topic

@thepalalias : Super35 is not the same as Academy 35mm... You realize that right?

and for sensor/film size comparison:

Show this pretty well.

@svart The table you showed indicates that the longest side is over 15% longer for Academy than the most generous estimates of the GH2 and much closer to APS-C.

Both Academy and S35 are closer to the width of APS-C. And remember that APS-C comes in both 1.6 and 1.5x variants.

Regarding the press conference:

I try to send it into the wiki via twitter. Vitaliy already set it up here:

I will twitter what is possible and , via I-phone, send some pictures if it is possible there.

Igor is there too, I am sure he will also send some stuff.

It will be 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. German time on Monday the 17th of September. In Los Angeles you are 8 hours behind so that means that it is between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. Monday morning.

Finally,

This is the size the gh1/2 should have always been. I think this new size and metal body will finally give it the respect among the Nikon/Canon users it always deserved.

Someone will be fired :-) This is for sure.

@Vitaliy,

Hopefully not, but maybe.

What a terrible promo video. I had to hit mute. But there it is. Anyone see any sky banding? ;-P

bleach551

It's on Youtube, We really couldn't expect a true representation of quality there.

@bleach551

I know, I was just teasing.

Looks like they've ditched the directional buttons in favor of a more Canon-like wheel. And I wonder what the little dial with the lightning bolt on it going to be. A programmable dial like on the A99 or something flash-related?

bleach551

For he whom is about to lose his job for this, I salute you.

@QuickHitRecord,

Sorry about, thought you were serious.

That lightning bolt could just be the pop-up flash button, Just like on my Nikon d7000

QuickHitRecord

@bleach551. No worries. I suspect that you are right about the flash button.

Up to this point it had be one of the best Panasonic compaign, without any major leaks (today spec leak anyway).

@Vitaliy_Kiselev. I think these calleds 'leaks' are hidden marketing strategies, this started some years ago in the past decade with the automotive industry and I see relatively recently that the electronics industry, specifically smartphones and cameras are doing. They say 'leaks' but with increasingly happens, I doubt it. Brands want to do something similar to viral marketing with these alleged leaks and so create more expectations, anxieties and comments from the public.

@Vitaliy,

I'm surprised they kept the secret this long. I guess someone was about to burst and just couldn't keep the secret anymore.

Vitaliy_Kiselev

@Manu4Vendetta

Nope, it seems like simple error. Most probably video was uploaded today, but he forget to make it unavailable to public (until time comes).

pvjames

WOW.....gorgeous.

QuickHitRecord

It looks like they have put the focus options on a new switch on the back of the camera. That would imply that something else has been assigned to the secondary dial on top of the camera. Can't wait until we get a view from above...
